It's not. But I'm also making a judgment call and neither of us knows or can even evaluate what percent of these queries are "a waste."

I'm flying with my family from New York to Florida in a month to visit my sister's side of the family. How would I objectively evaluate whether that is "worth" the impact on my carbon footprint that that flight will have?

One source recommends keeping it under 2T/yr. https://www.nature.org/en-us/get-involved/how-to-help/carbon...

Maybe we should find ways to evaluate to know if AI has a net benefit or not

How would we objectively measure whether humanity existing is a net benefit or not?
